Elysian Afternoon Teas

Needed - a few good Devoteas to help this class go ahead. We make the jam, the scones, and I bring the clotted cream. And the best part of the day - everything is shared on lovely bone china and crystal with the lovely people who make up the class. A great class to share with friends. You will get all the recipes and leftovers to take home. If you like the idea, but can't make it this Sunday, please let the community centre know as we can always schedule a class next year. I just love Devonshire Teas.

Some pictures from our Devonshire Class at Kensington Neighbourhood House held with a lovely group of Devonshire Tea lovers. We made jam, of course scones, and whipped both a Devonshire style cream and a home made clotted cream. After the hard work everyone chose their own teaware and enjoyed their scones with freshly brewed tea.
Thankyou to all who came to the class and to KNH. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.

No excuse needed but now I have a (yummy) project for this afternoon!

Enjoy a little Lamington love today!

Why? Because it's Lamington Day!

Doing one of my favourite things - sharing afternoon tea with neighbours. And being just a little bit fancy. All set up and just waiting for the scones to come out of the oven.
Yum!

Some pictures of last weekend's zoom class - hosted by Yarraville Community Centre and taught by me. We made a quick mix shortbread and also a more traditional recipe handed down from a friend's grandmother.

Despite the mess from our water leaks and all the extra stuff that has come out of No. 2 sons bedroom cleanup we have a spare bookshelf that won't fit back in - and I am putting it to good use. Guess what my favourite things are?

What great timing. Received our first delivery from Cheese Therapy and Michael has made a spectacular batch of sourdough crackers.
We think the one in the middle looks like a weedy seadragon.
What do you think?

Clotted cream is what makes a scone extra special.
Hard to find locally and not likely to get to England to try the real deal - so we made our own!
Pretty chuffed with the result and it tasted even better.

The last Friday of June is National Cream Tea Day in the UK - and every year I find out about it afterwards.
Not this year!
Happy National Cream Tea Day - with clotted cream.
